JAI #42

Here is my entry for the Just add ink challenge.  As you can see I've used the sheet I posted saturday .  I punched out a snowflake trying to get a christmas tree in the centre from the background sheet and used the swirly background for the side border.  The irridescent peeloff borders are from my stash. as is the 5x7" card.

a new crafting pal!

Evening everyone as plammed I managed to get some crafting done this afternoon and  thought you might like to see my new crafting pal/critic! lol  Our cat kizzy was determined to sit with me and knows I don't like her on my table so went on my shoulders instead! I'll show you the cards I made tomorrow as the photo wasn't too good with the flash going off on my camera. 

S on S Hever at Christmas

 

This weeks sheet is using a wonderful photograph of Hever Castle in Kent UK at Christmas time, all I've done to the photo is added a frame for the topper. As a child I visited this castle many times and have since taken my own children there when they were little., I'm pleased to say they enjoyed it as much I did. . I hope to be able to do a lot of card making tomorrow so that I can show you some cards made using this sheet.  Hope you all have a nice weekend with better weather than we've had!  Bye for now.

Clydesdale Christmas

 

 Here are a couple of cards I've made using the latest Sheets on Saturday (S-on-S)  After taking the photo I decided the DL card needed a bit more so I added a peeloff holly leaf and a couple of 1mm gems that I coloured using permanent marker.  I,ve shown the gems in the second photo.  I;ve also made some 4x4inch cards using the sheet and when I get a moment I'll upload a photo for you all.

S on S - Clydesdale Snow

I just love this image of clydesdale horses in the snow and I think its too good to change much so have just made some toppers, sentiments and a couple of borders for the sheet.  If I get time later I'll make a vellum sheet for you to go with this.  Have a great weekend all of you and if you get time to leave me a comment I'd really appreciate it so that I know I'm making sheets that are useful! lol  thanks everso.

House mouse

Hi everyone, just wanted to show you these cards I made using Joanna Sheens wonderful decoupage sheets.  I love this house mouse series they just fit with so many different occasions.  The first card I made for my sisters bithday and the second is a thankyou card for the nursing staff at West Cornwall hospital where I had an eye operation 10 days ago and the last is for my nephews birthday.

DIY cards

Here we are as promised.  This week I've made 2 cards using yesterdays  sheet as the thankyou card was made so quickly! lol  Here's how I did them.

Birthday card
I used an oval template that I made from another piece of card and sponged this using whispers ink for the green tones and an inspiration ink for the sky.  I then added a fine bronze colour peeloff around the oval.  The sentiment topper was made using SU  designer label punch with a peice of pearlescent green card and the small sentiment. I then attached this to the strip with SU dimensionals.
Thankyou card
I used the fiskers running water border punch on the striped paper and add the the sentiment to a peice of green card and attached with 2 SU dimensionals.
